What is the difference between synthetic division and long division of polynomials?

Ariana B.

Answer:

Long division of polynomials works by simplifying or reducing a fraction. When this is not the case, Long division of polynomials will use a method that works just like numerical division. Synthetic division is the shortcut of polynomial division. This process requires a special case of division by a first degree polynomial, called a linear factor.
